George Hearn sang &quot;Rainbow&#39;s End&quot; from Styne&#39;s Treasure Island musical (&quot;Pieces of Eight,&quot; I think) and Maureen McGovern sang Tell Me On a Sunday from what became &quot;Song and Dance&quot; over here. I forget what the Coleman piece was, since he was kind of inactive in the middle of the decade.Tom Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452388964457205842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-78198311378199258842011-06-12T22:02:55.355-04:002011-06-12T22:02:55.355-04:00To your Spider-Man comment, back in 1994, they sho...To your Spider-Man comment, back in 1994, they showed footage form Show Boat up in Toronto (ahh,Livent, you bitch.) before it came to Broadway. Three years previous, they showed a numbeer from the Bye Bye Birdie (from Seattle) tour which never came in to NYC. They showed it probably because they wanted an extra number since 91 was a mediocre year for musicals, but mainly because Tommy Tune was in it (with Anne Reinking) and he was double-nominated that night for Will Rogers Follies. ANNNND, in 1995 they showed like 30 seconds of footage each from Busker Alley and Master Class which were both previewing on the road and had not come in yet.Tom Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452388964457205842noreply@blogger.com
